The disciplines

The table shows only the commands the category’s rulebook provides for: a command that doesn’t exist in the rulebook doesn’t appear.

BJJ (IBJJF)

2, 3 and 4-point scores, advantages and penalties. A submission ends the match. In a tie, more points count, then more advantages, then fewer penalties; if it’s still level the referee decides.

Fighting System (JJIF, FIJLKAM)

• Ippon and waza-ari in each of the three parts: atemi, standing, ground.
• Shido and chui: a shido is worth a waza-ari to the opponent; at the second chui the table proposes disqualification.
• Osae-komi: the hold-down clock awards waza-ari at 10 seconds and ippon at 15.
• Medical time: 2 minutes per athlete, which can be paused.
• Challenge: if the organisation has turned it on, records the review request and its outcome, accolto (accepted) or respinto (rejected).

In FIJLKAM U8 only the standing and ground parts count, with no full ippon, and the referee decides a tie.

Ne-Waza (JJIF, FIJLKAM)

2, 3 and 4-point scores, advantages and penalties; a submission ends it. Medical time of 2 minutes per athlete: once it runs out, it’s a withdrawal. In a tie it goes to golden score, with no time limit.

Duo System (JJIF, FIJLKAM)

Duo has no clock: the match is made of series of attacks, and the red and blue couples take turns. Once the match has started, the jury panel collects the judges’ scores attack by attack: points, sbagliato (failed attack), penalità (penalty). With Avanti and Indietro you move between the series; a series can be marked da rifare (to be repeated).

The higher total wins. In a tie there is an extra series, then the referee decides.
